| | 3 | = GEC 18 GENI Desktop and GEMINI Tutorial = |
| | 4 | |
| | 5 | == '''Overview''' == |
| | 6 | |
| | 7 | The GEMINI instrumentation and measurement services enables users to quickly |
| | 8 | add software to their slice that will automatically measure and monitor |
| | 9 | network traffic and other information about the slice. GEMINI utilizes |
| | 10 | the GENI Desktop to view and access the measurement information produced by |
| | 11 | GEMINI. The GENI Desktop is also integrated with FLACK which can be used to |
| | 12 | create and modify slices. |
| | 13 | |
| | 14 | Unlike past tutorials, this tutorial will begin with a presentation and demonstration of the GENI |
| | 15 | Desktop and its features and capabilities, along with a demonstration of the |
| | 16 | measurement information available from the GEMINI measurement services. |
| | 17 | |
| | 18 | Following the presentation and overview, attendees will be given a |
| | 19 | set of exercises that they will work through individually at their own pace to gain experience |
| | 20 | using the GENI Desktop and GEMINI. Each exercise is designed to illustrate a |
| | 21 | different feature, or set of features, of the GENI Desktop and GEMINI. |
| | 22 | Attendees can work on tasks in any order after the slice has been created, initialized, and instrumentized (Exercise/Task 1). |
| | 23 | |
| | 24 | == '''Introductory Slides''' == |
| | 25 | |
| | 26 | The introductory slides presented at the beginning of the tutorial are available for download as [attachment:GENIdesktop.pdf GENIdesktop.pdf] |
| | 27 | and [attachment:20130721-GEMINI-active.pdf GEMINI_active_measurements.pdf] |
| | 28 | |
| | 29 | == '''Prerequisites''' == |
| | 30 | |
| | 31 | The tutorial assumes that attendees already have a GENI Portal account and |
| | 32 | know how to login and create slices via the GENI Portal or Flack. |
| | 33 | It also assumes that users have obtained a copy of the user workspace from which |
| | 34 | they can run Firefox and perform other omni operations if needed. |
| | 35 | Attendees should use Firefox in the User Workspace when interacting with the GENI Desktop. |
| | 36 | For the purposes of this tutorial we will be using the following |
| | 37 | [wiki:GEMINI/Tutorial/GEC17/GENI_Desktop_and_GEMINI_Example_Topology example topology]. |
| | 38 | Attendees should have created a slice with this topology prior to the start |
| | 39 | of the tutorial, or should do it as soon as the tutorial starts. Note, that |
| | 40 | when the slice is created, it must be created with the GEMINI extensions |
| | 41 | enabled. |
| | 42 | |
| | 43 | 1. Do the [http://groups.geni.net/geni/wiki/APRAGENI/GREE-SC2013/Prework pre-work] |
| | 44 | 1. Obtain a copy of the User Workspace |
| | 45 | 1. Setup the [wiki:GEMINI/Tutorial/GEC17/GENI_Desktop_and_GEMINI_Example_Topology example topology] |
